I never got a confirmation email that my secondary application was submitted or complete even though my portal shows "complete" since 7/12. Should I be reaching out to the admissions office?
UC Davis does not take Casper, they take the AAMC SJT

My friend is high stats and IS but he didn't get a secondary until he took his SJT. That might be what's holding you back
Lol dang i thought they took casper too. I got 75-100 casper but 3 on the sjt T.T. i hate these weird tests.

No secondary yet, verified 6/28, geez they sure are taking their time.
I received the secondary, and I won't be taking the SJT.
Hey everyone, I received a secondary on 7/6 and completed it on 7/14. However, my application is still incomplete because they have not yet received my letters of reference from AMCAS and the 30 day deadline has passed. Does this mean my application is disqualified and won't move further? I'm really worried about it now.
Any recent IIs?

On the secondary app is it looked down upon if you select "No" on all of the scholarly pathways and programs you can apply to? If I select No for the majority, then there aren't many other essays on the secondary application itself.
The majority (ie. 60%+) of students at Davis are not in one of those programs. If none of them interest you, do not apply to them.

I read on another thread that Davis is giving out II's. Anyone here receive one?

Hey for the prerequisite section how do I convert my credit hours to course units? My school is on a semester system so if I earned 3 credit hours from Bio 1, how does that convert to "units earned" on the UC Davis Secondary?
Also, for the "Evidence of Accomplishment" on the activities section, do I select "none" or "other" if the evidence is just hours logged on a scheduling sheet created by the supervisor?

Anyone still waiting on a secondary despite being high stats/early? I assume I didn't make it past the holistic screening, though not sure why. Just confused here.

ME, I am a reapp and got an app last year, so not sure what is going on with UCD and UCR. T.T

Does anyone know what the screening criteria are for getting a secondary? I got a secondary but was curious if the screening is just GPA/MCAT or if they do a "holistic" screen.

How much does the SJT matter for this school? I completely bombed it lol

Pretty much not at all, they say it can only help during post-interview decisions if you did well, otherwise they'll ignore it. So it has a very minimal effect.
Holistic, stats alone will not get you a secondary.

Secondary received today, literally verified 2 hours prior
If I was complete on 7/16 and someone who completed on 7/20 received ll can I assume that my application was reviewed and won’t be invited for ll?

Nope. Apps are ranked differently and people get interviews in a seemingly sporadic manner because of it.

Primary verified late Friday 8/20. Secondary received around 1pm today 8/22. OOS, low MCAT, high GPA

What was your CARS? You do the SJT? I did great on cars but literally a 2 on SJT....
Just wanted to send a reminder that Davis does not really care too much about stats. This is supported by @cocolover receiving a secondary, though their advice should be that good experiences can get you a secondary, not that a higher MCAT can.
Davis does want to see good academic performance but they also really value experiences and background. As a UC they could easily increase their average MCAT of admitted students by 3+ points, but they do not because they look for perfect fits for the school's mission and this can outweigh the importance of stats.
For Davis, high stats =/= secondary (but don't get me wrong, there are people with 515+ here).
This is 100% true for most to all UC’s
My cars is what tanked my score— 120, my SJT was 92 percentile 7/9
I wrote out my narrative in one sentence and for the remaining characters I reflected on the experience and how this experience will support me as a future student doctor and how UCD’s programs will further support me
congrats! what time did you receive it at?
just now, ~12:50 PM PST 🙂

IS II! Complete 7/15
what is LM?

It's a Lizzy M score that's a combination of your GPA and MCAT. (LM= GPA ×10 +MCAT); The MCAT is based on the old score
